I Need A Vacation

OK, Who Doesn't! I guess the ironic thing about this statement is that I live where 50 million people every year come to vacation -- Las Vegas!

Las Vegas is a great place to visit and an even better place to live. We have almost everything you could want -- tons of great shopping, lots of great restaurants, outstanding entertainment and many top entertainers to choose from, and the best of all, great neighborhoods to live in. As a Las Vegas local, most people are amazed to discover that many people who live here never go to the Strip.

Now, I love living in Las Vegas. Having moved here 4 years ago from spectacular Lake Tahoe, its quite a different experience to be sure. I do miss the mountains, the gorgeous vistas of crystal blue Lake Tahoe against the magnificent pine tress, and the panorama after a fresh coat of snow. I don't miss shoveling that spectacular snow or having to make sure to put my studded tires on and shift into 4-wheel drive so I could get in and out of my neighborhood, not to mention up and down my very steep driveway. But after spending 8 years in the Sierra Nevada mountains, I was ready for a change.

When deciding to move away from the snow, we relied on the relationship we established with our real estate agent to help up find the right home from several hundred miles away. Shockingly, if there had been as many great tools to share properties and all their great features as there are now, we probably would have been able to choose a property without making 6 trips down here prior to finding the right home.

So now here we are, enjoying the great desert air, and living in the city that you can get almost anything you want any time day or night. But just because you live in a terrific place, and have a job you love (did I mention I now sell real estate), it doesn't mean you wouldn't like to experience some other place. Now what calls me, at least for vacations, is a soft sandy beach and warm turquoise water.

I'm ready for a vacation.Publish Post
